Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 6-8 slices bread (cubed) Can swap for gluten-free bread.
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers Feel free to replace with zucchini or mushrooms.
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen spinach (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Grease a baking dish and layer the cubed bread evenly on the bottom.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped bell peppers, onions, and any cooked meats over the bread layer.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything and gently press down to help the bread soak up the liquid.
  6. Top off with shredded cheese and spinach, if you’re using it.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole becomes puffy and the top is a lovely golden brown.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

This breakfast casserole is perfect on its own, but consider pairing it with fresh fruit or a light salad. A dollop of sour cream or fresh herbs can elevate the experience. For added flavor, sauté the vegetables before adding them.
